be prepared for a lot of flame. IMO its good that a law abiding citizen will purchase a gun to defend your home.
OT: I think any firearm will be good enough as long as you know how to responsibly take care of it, put it in a safe, trigger guard etc.
Off-topic: depending on where you live (I think its chicago) they are adding a %25 tax to firearm purchases to help stop gang killings apparently
Right now, I live south of San Jose, CA. my Hometown's rate, violent rate has begun to go up recently. So I thought it best to buy a firearm before they became even harder to get here.
and by all rights you should, you are doing the correct thing by defending your family. Just be responsible, with the firearm. Educate your kids (assuming you have some) about it, tell them its not a toy and they are never to touch it, put it in a safe place preferably a safe with the trigger guard over it so no one slips their finger in there by accident and make sure there is no ammo in in especially in the chamber.
and make sure you take a safety class as well
Way too much time and money invested for paranoia.
I rather be paranoid than holding my wife and kids as they die
